Other Information

Clustered Courses:

Manage Project Works, Manage Project Quality, Manage Project Risk and OH and S Risk Management are conducted as clustered courses. The class material for many sessions includes combined learning material for each of these four courses. Assessments are designed for the student to demonstrate competence in the elements of each or all of these courses as applicable.

Competency requirements and Grading:

To be deemed competent students must demonstrate an understanding of all elements of a competency. Assessment methods have been designed to measure achievement of each competency in a flexible manner over multiple tasks.

Students are advised that they are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment work to their teacher to ensure that the relevant competency standards are being met. Observation of students performing work is used to confirm competency.

All assessments for this course must be completed to achieve CP (Competent with Pass) to pass this course. In any assessment 50% equates to being Competent with Pass. Higher gradings are available. The final grade for the course is calculated taking into account the weighting given to the separate assessements.
